This discussion has been going on for decades. Did the Beatles make Brian Epstein or did Brian Epstein make the Beatles? It all came to a head during the Karmic trip to the Maharishi in India. Cynthia Lennon was left at the train station, the Maharishi was trying to sleep with Mia Farrow, "Dear Prudence" was written about her avoiding that situation. Lennon realized "GOD" is a concept by which we measure our pain and left early relizing its all a scam. And then of course the news of Epstein's death. The only Beatle staying on message for the rest of his life was George Harrison.."living in the material world".i think its pretty Obvious Epstein made the Beatles...or at least they would have been a different road with not near the fame..just another has been band like Johnny and The Pace Makers..or Herman's Hermits..ironically Capital Records controlled the capital of the Beatles until Apple Corp..which rotted..and now we have Microsoft as the new "guitar hero's".
